Electric Vehicles Are the Veggie Burger of Cars
Heartland Daily News ^ | 9/29/22 | David Debertin

Posted on 09/29/2022 8:04:31 AM PDT by moovova

Overcoming the impracticality of electric vehicles (EVs) appears to be as big a marketing challenge as convincing diners that plant-based burgers are tasty. Yet, those inspired by the “green” demonization of fossil fuels continue to try. (Snip) EV adoption might follow a pattern similar to what happened with plant-based patties at Burger King. Initially, a group of enthusiastic customers chose the plant-based Whoppers over a meat version because cattle are a purported cause of climate change and eating meat is said to be “unhealthy.” Another group of customers thought it was interesting to see if a veggie burger tasted like real beef. Soon, however, demand for the plant-based version fell off drastically. McDonald’s has also experimented with a plant-based burger at some locations but recently abandoned that effort for lack of customer interest.

“.6 of those charging our car or truck.”


However, we can give you an approximate charging time if you have a dead Tesla battery and need a full charge.

Here are the estimated Tesla charging times:

Level 1 (120 V): 20 to 40 hours
Level 2 (240 V): 8 to 12 hours
Level 3 (480 V): 15 to 25 minutes

You don’t have to evacuate a long distance. Just get to high ground.

NO!!!!! There is a big difference.
Veggie burgers are cheaper than real burgers.
EV’s cost double of gasoline cars.

CO2 is visualized like this. Let’s say you had a $million dollars spread out on your kitchen table. $400 dollars would be CO2.

Liberals can not think that deep.
Wind has a tendency to die down.
Sun refuses to shine during night time.
So how you gonna charge your battery when green energy is missing?
Correct answer: Fossil fuels, nuclear or hydro.

V_TWIN mentioned the following in another thread...

“A little off topic but I wonder how many of those things are dead on the side of the road after trying to evacuate the hurricane”

I can’t wait for the EV evac stories to come out after all is said and done down in Florida (prayers for ALL FL residents). While nobody’s gonna discuss insurance fraud, I wouldn’t doubt some EV owners considered exactly your train of thought.

“If someone can develop a loud, smoke-belching behemoth that runs on electricity, it might have a chance at success. But these little whiney vehicles? No way. Even if they can outrun a Bugatti.”

No worries. They’ve fake it, kind of a Harry Meets Sally thing.

“I notice that all ev commercials show the ev driving into the mountains or forest...”

You’ll also notice on “green” commercials, generally you see the charger “nozzle” ONLY being removed and returned to the charger station just as a gas nozzle would be returned to the pump. It looks so easy and innocent. BUT, we know that plug was in that car for at least a half hour...maybe even hours...before the plug was finally pulled out. The idiots out there will see that commercial and think it’s just effortless to “fuel up” an EV...we need to buy one to save Mother Earf.

They were a fad back in 1895, but the steam and ICE engines eclipsed their existence. I’ll give them 5-7yrs, and by then the world’s auto makers will have spent and lost Trillions on that idiotic, moronic junk/trash/garbage.
